Güldane Cengiz-Seval presents results from an analysis of the phase III DREAMM-8 trial, evaluating PFS2 outcomes by prior therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory #MultipleMyeloma treated with BPd (n = 155) or PVd (n = 147).
PFS2 benefit with BPd vs PVd was maintained across prior-therapy subgroups, including patients who were Len-refractory and anti-CD38-exposed/refractory (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.36–1.12). In Len-refractory patients, median PFS2 was 41.7 vs 15.0 months, respectively (HR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.35–0.68). Median PFS2 was numerically longer in patients who received novel therapies vs non-novel agents as first subsequent therapy (26.0 vs 20.1 months; HR, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.34–1.09).

Preetinder Singh Manshahia shares results from a TriNetX retrospective cohort analysis evaluating outcomes after ide-cel or cilta-cel in patients with relapsed/refractory #MultipleMyeloma with baseline renal dysfunction (creatinine ≥2.0 mg/dL, not on dialysis) vs preserved renal function (creatinine ≤1.0 mg/dL) (N = 158; n = 79 per propensity-matched cohort).
Early CRS incidence (Days 0–15) was similar in patients with vs without baseline renal dysfunction (33.3% vs 36.5%), and no patients developed DIC or required dialysis. Mortality was significantly higher in patients with baseline renal dysfunction at 6 months (40% vs 13.2%), 1 year (45.3% vs 15.8%), and 3 years (52% vs 21.1%) (all p < 0.001). Among patients with baseline renal dysfunction and 90-day follow-up (n = 61), renal recovery occurred in 78.7% by creatinine criteria and 62.3% by eGFR criteria.

Hans C. Lee shares findings from an updated MAIC comparing linvoseltamab vs teclistamab in patients with triple-class exposed relapsed/refractory #MultipleMyeloma using LINKER-MM1 patient-level data (n = 107; effective sample size, 82.5) and MajesTEC-1 aggregate data (n = 165). Restricted mean survival time (RMST) was evaluated at 30 months.
After adjustment for six key prognostic factors, linvoseltamab showed significantly longer DoR (HR, 0.54; RMST difference, +4.06 months), PFS (HR, 0.55; RMST difference, +5.43 months), OS (HR, 0.64; RMST difference, +3.06 months), and TTNT (HR, 0.41; RMST difference, +7.12 months) vs teclistamab (all p < 0.05). Response rates numerically favored linvoseltamab, including ORR (OR, 1.50), ≥VGPR (OR, 1.17), and ≥CR (OR, 1.21).

CONGRESS | #ASCO26 | PRESENTATION
Meletios A. Dimopoulos presents updated results from phase III DREAMM-8 evaluating long-term outcomes with sustained MRD negativity following BPd vs PVd in patients with relapsed/refractory #MultipleMyeloma (N = 302; BPd, n = 155; PVd, n = 147).
In the ITT population, MRD negativity was achieved in 64.2% with BPd vs 36.0% with PVd; MRD negativity sustained ≥12 months was achieved in 15.5% vs 2.7%, respectively. Among patients with sustained MRD negativity, median PFS and PFS2 were NR in both arms; 24-month PFS and PFS2 rates were 100% with both BPd and PVd. In patients without sustained MRD negativity, median PFS and PFS2 were longer with BPd vs PVd: 21.1 vs 10.2 months and 20.2 vs 9.3 months, respectively. BPd-treated patients maintained MRD negativity for up to 4 years, with follow-up ongoing.

Saad Z. Usmani presents final results from a post hoc analysis of the phase III CEPHEUS trial, evaluating Dara-VRd vs VRd in patients with transplant-ineligible newly diagnosed #MultipleMyeloma (N = 289; Dara-VRd, n = 144; VRd, n = 145).
At a median follow-up of 76.0 months, overall MRD negativity at 10⁻⁵ was higher with Dara-VRd vs VRd (61.1% vs 40.0%; OR, 2.35; p = 0.0004). Sustained MRD negativity at 10⁻⁵ also favored Dara-VRd vs VRd at ≥12 months (49.3% vs 29.0%; OR, 2.40; p = 0.0005) and ≥24 months (44.4% vs 23.4%; OR, 2.62; p = 0.0002). Similar results were seen at a sensitivity threshold of 10⁻⁶. At 72 months, PFS was 59.3% with DVRd vs 38.3% with VRd; median PFS was not reached vs 50.2 months, respectively (HR, 0.55; p = 0.0007). No additional safety concerns were identified with longer follow-up.

Sikander Ailawadhi discusses findings from a subgroup analysis of the phase III IRAKLIA trial, evaluating isatuximab + pomalidomide-dexamethasone in patients with R/R MM with/without prior anti-CD38 exposure (N = 531).
Overall, 12.6% of patients had prior anti-CD38 exposure. Patients with prior anti-CD38 exposure had an ORR of 52.2% and a 12-month PFS rate of 40.6%. Patients without prior anti-CD38 exposure had an ORR of 73.5% and a 12-month PFS rate of 68.8%. A longer washout period (>20.2 months) between anti-CD38 therapies was associated with a greater ORR (63.6% vs 41.2%) and greater rates of 12-month PFS (61.8% vs 19.2%). The safety profile of isatuximab + pomalidomide-dexamethasone was similar between patients with and without prior anti-CD38 exposure.
